In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder, orange zest, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed. Combine the egg and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy. Add the blueberries to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.

Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see small bits of butter in the dough. Keep moving the dough on the floured board so it doesn't stick.

Shape the dough into a square. Cut the square into quarters then cut again into eighths, diagonally, making triangles.

Brush the tops of the scones with heavy creme, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch.

I came here to compliment on how lovely your scones look and am left literally staring goofily at the screen at how DELICIOUS that pull apart bread looks! I cant believe I havnt had such a thing grace my kitchen yet, this is the most tempting and yummy post ive seen in a while! :)

I adore scones and blueberries but I have never attempted to make them before. Your recipe was enticing because of your lovely photos. So I took the challenge and made it last week and they were just perfect! I was so happy with the outcome! I will be making these again!

I tried this recipe a couple of weeks ago using frozen blueberries and the results were awesome! I've made them a couple of times since and substituted dried cherries for the blueberries, very tasty. Also, the pictures on your site are mouth-watering beautiful! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

is it possible to bake this at a lower temperature? my oven refuses to go up to 400 (it's broken i think T_T)..375 is okay though (haven't tried anything above? maybe i could increase the temperature slowly...)this looks suuuper amazing btw!! ima make this after exams tomorrow :D

Hi, Christa! My name's Alaina and I'd like to get permission to feature one of your scone recipes. Please contact me at alaina@stashtea.com for more information. Unfortunately, there's a bit of a time crunch and we'll need to hear back from you by Thursday morning (8 PST) at the latest. Thanks!

I just discovered your site and so happy that I did! I am going to try the scones first and then the pull-apart bread (nervous to do so but I'll take the leap). :) Your photos are truly too beautiful...I think I ingested calories just looking at them. :)

I just made these yesterday morning and they were delicious!! I woke up this morning planning to have one for breakfast but my roommates had finished them all off! Can't wait to make them again. Thanks for the great recipe!

I just made my first attempt at these, and had mediocre results since my dough caved a bit while baking, making them like really, really fat pancakes. I made two substitutions based on what I had on hand, and wondering which affected the recipe. 1) I used half and half instead of cream. 2) I used frozen blueberries without thawing them first. Or perhaps my baking powder has gone bad? The dough seemed picture perfect, and they taste great.

Hi there, sorry these didn't turn out well for you the first time. To be honest, I've made those same substitutions with no problems. It may have been the baking powder. I hope you give them another try!

Thank you so much for your amazing blog. My three year old son and I love to bake together, we tried the blueberry scones recipe and it was soooooooo amazing. this morning we tried it with out the orange zest and did cherries instead of blueberries it was so good.

Hey Christa,I've randomly found your blog while I was searching a recipe for scones. I really love all your recipes so now I will try this recipe. I had to change the units for ingredients because here in germany we don't have the same. I hope I've done all right. Well, I'm going to bake this very nice looking scones now :)

Just made these this morning for my wife (she's about 6 months pregnant), and they came out pretty darn well considering I don't normally bake! I did sweat for a bit, because the dough didn't seem to come together very well at first, but I think it may be because I decided to use frozen butter (easier to grate) and frozen blueberries (locally picked).

Thanks Christa! :) Just did another batch, but unfortunately these ones didn't turn out quite as well. When I turned the dough out, and tried to form it, it just didn't want to come together at all. Any ideas?
